B is a deflector, ofsheet metal, in the win of an inverted cone, supported by braces t.inside the radiator. The pipe A extends down into the deflector, causingthe heated currents to impinge against the Walls of the radiator intheir upward passage, which is somewhat retarded by their being revertedin the deflector, whereby a greater amount of heat is radiated into thekitchen at a corresponding reduction of the consumption of fuel. 0 is asemicircular shelf, hollowed out in the middle to embrace the pipe Awitha wire ring, I), run in to slip over the latter before theconnecting lengths are added, Whereby it is secured in position, but isfree to revolve about the pipe. It is supported by three legs, 0, alittle above the top of the radiator. D is a semicircular tin cover,made to embrace the pipe and to inclose the shelf 0, and is pro videdwith several openings near the lower said radiator, and capable of acomplete revolution around the. stove-pipe, substantially as describedand shown.
